Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mr. Coffee MWBLK Mug Warmer
Customer Review: IT WORKS JUST GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
We've been looking for a cup-warmer that would actually work...the usb-powered type just didn't have enough power, so we returned them to the local store. What really won this particular model is the fact that someone wrote in their review of this product, "...a drop of water on it sizzles." So we gave it a try; sure enough, a drop of water on it sizzles, the coffee stays warm, and we're happy we got it. It works best with flat-bottomed glass/ ceramic cups, but it will also do something for cups/ mugs that have a ridge around the bottom edge. It will work for an 8- to 14-oz. mug, but it works best with the 8-oz.
All that being said, here are a couple of satisfied customers who recommend the product we just acquired.
Customer Review: Great Coffee Warmer
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these coffee warmers to keep my coffee warm at the office. It really does the job. Note you cannot pour cold coffee into a mug and expect this device to heat it -- that isn't the purpose. If you set your warm coffee on this heater, get up go get something out of the printer, get distracted talk to people, come back to your desk 15 min later your coffee will still be warm, maybe even hot depending on how hot it was when you poured it in there. I love it. I bought one for home too. The success of the coffee warmer is also dependent on your coffee mug. I find it works best with coffee mugs that have a large surface area at the bottom. I would definitely recommend this product -- I already have, I love it.Customer Review: Awesome Buy!

I was wary about getting this as I kept seeing people say that it only keeps things lukewarm and I prefer my coffee/tea just shy of scalding. However, this product is my new best friend. As long as you start with a cup of something HOT it will stay that way - especially when your drink gets near the bottom. Sometimes if i start with a cup that isn't pipping hot, I just put an old CD case over the top and it will heat up a little more , but its not as good as when you start with something hot. Also, I found if you turn it right before you go fix your coffee, its starts keeping the heat quicker/better. All in all, great product when used as it was created for - maintaining heat, not as a hot plate.Customer Review: coffee mug warmer

Ok, so I never finished my coffee before I got this since it always got cold. (Nothing like cold java on a winter's day with the a/c on in the office.) So, I gave this gadget a shot. If you are a coffee sipper like me and don't gulp your coffee in 2 minutes, this is the perfect product for you. It keeps hot cocoa, coffee, and tea and even cup-a-soups at the perfect sipping temperature.
The only drawback is that once you are almost done with your drink, you must remember to turn off the switch. Can't blame the manufacturer, though. I forgot to shut mine off and a couple of hours later, my half a cup of coffee became a shot of espresso. Not so yummy.

The key to keeping your beverage hot (after you first make it hot, and place it on the surface), is to have a LID on the coffee mug. I found coffee cups with lids at the World Market (ala Cost Plus) in Carlsbad, CA. the kind the Chinese use formally, only 5 bucks. I think if someone starts making coffee mugs with lids (and perhaps a lid lifter like they use on beer steins), it would sell well. My beverages stay way hot all day on the platform, as long as I'm using a ceramic lid. Thats the key folks, use a lid at least and the heat will stay in and it gets hotter as the liquid in your cup gets lower. Keeps my coworkers warmer, so hopefully less flu's go around.
